Masonic Notes.

Masonic Notes .

A great advance has been made since last week , and the Board of Stewards for the approaching Festival uf the Girls' School now numbers 202 brethren , of whom 22 hail from the Chairman ' s Province of Middlesex . As there is yet a full month between now and the day—20 th May—fixed for the celebration , vve may

hope to see the number still further increased to about 240 or 250 . If Middlesex in particular , and others of the provinces put their best foot foremost , there should be little difficulty about this , though the last comers will have little time to do more than arrange for their own personal donations .
